my drivers side window stopped going up..My friend and I took it apart yesterday and replaced the motor because the gear was moving around a bit...put it back together and it went down fine but when going up it was making a terrible grinding noise, thens topped about 3/4 of the way up. TOTALLY stopped....would not go any further even with help...we noticed the little plastic spacer on the regulator was a bit worn out so we ordered a new regulator to be shipped over. Installed that with the new motor.....STILL grinding noise when the window goes up. Now the funny thing is we tried both combination BEFORE putting the whole thing on the door and with both, it never made any noise. It worked fine. It has something to do with being on the door connected to the window. We could not see the regulator touching ANYTHING anywhere. Is there something else we should be checking somewhere? The grinding noise is coming from near the motor or but the front guide rail. We tried two different motor and relaters and both work fine when not on the door so we ruled those out as possibilities. It has to be something on the door......any ideas>??

The regulator also came with a little metal spacer that we don't thin goes on the regulator...we think it was for a larger sized motor gear or something. we used the new plastic spacer that was like the factory one..

Well it goes all the way down simple...then as soon as I start to go up its grinds like a mutha!..it only makes it about halfway then totally stops like something is in the way. The same spot going up every time....and to answer your question, yes it does go up straight
